MISSTRETCH is an 8-bit styled action-platformer, where you navigate through deadly obstacles by careful self-extension and reduction. Too bad you can’t jump... 

Story

One starry night in the middle of a city, our hero Stretchy finds herself trapped in the bottom of a perplexing building called Video Tower. 

Sometimes the only way is up!

Features

  • stretching
  • dancing
  • short (game) length

Default Controls

Keyboard:

  • Arrow Keys - move
  • Z, X, C - stretch

Additional Notes

MISSTRETCH by design lacks BGM for most of its runtime instead focusing on ambient noises and sound effects, however nothing is stopping you from listening to your own music while playing! Anything by Meiko Nakahara or casiopea should go well with the game, adding a unique city pop / jazz fusion flair befitting the urban environment you can see on the title screen.

hipeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I can't seem to get up the fourth floor

You have to stretch while standing on a platform (you cannot stretch in the air), and then touch spikes while falling. It's a little bit tricky but you'll get used to it over the course of the game :)

Unless it's not the right floor? This is the one on which playtesters would always spend a little bit more time :) 

Also if you are playing on the phone w/ a controller you are going to have a bad time with this unfortunately (though it is still possible to clear the game)

thanks

Really nice game, the difficulty is perfect and the mechanic is really interesting and nicely polished! The art is cute as well!

Thank you so much for playing :)  I'm not gonna lie, I feel a little bit vindicated now ^.^ Stay tuned for more games in the future!

had to give up just after the half way point because its too difficult and i was sick of dying .... but its a good game !

Nice :) Thank you for playing!

please make html5 build

(+1)

Build added! Thank you for your feedback. I have not realised everyone actually did that since web games don't show on the itch.io client app (retroactively, I guess that makes sense).

fuck yeah thank u! much more accessible to play (also you can play it on your mobile phone now too!)
